#Opinion by Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova
Nuclear DisInfo (Read in full)
Mechanisms for information attacks with a new thesis that target the public space have been launched in the West at the highest level in a transboundary and trans-format manner. The premise is primitive and completely horrifying: the Russians are threatening a nuclear war, and the Russians are waving the nuclear stick.
⁉️ Do I even need to say that this thesis is absolutely incorrect and false? Apparently, I do.
They are pushing this exact thesis because it plays on basic human fears, the experience of the older generation, which throughout the second half of the 20th century was bracing for the Third World War against global communism, and Western youth, for which their respective governments have come up with a new mechanism called “cancel culture” (cancelling everything Russian this time). Moreover, the West absolutely does not care what Moscow really says, and the meaning of words is distorted and outwardly perverted.
Let’s consider the specifics.
Two days ago, in his answer to a question by Dimitri Simes during an interview, Sergey Lavrov said literally the following 👉 full quote
What are the takeaways?
1. It was Russia that, with great difficulty, convinced the United States during lengthy talks to reaffirm the Gorbachev-Reagan formula that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.
2. It was Russia that persuaded the group of five nuclear nations to adopt a statement with the same content.
3. There are risks; they should not be blown out of proportion or underestimated.
We did everything possible to prevent a nuclear war, to create all the necessary obstacles on the way to slipping into this scenario (fortunately, they justified themselves during the Cold War and are working today), because we understand the real risks and threats posed by irresponsible behaviour in this area. We cannot allow the very thought of a nuclear war.
Now acting in the worst traditions of disinformation, Western officials are feeding the media, in a coordinated effort, fake news about Moscow’s alleged nuclear threats. The foreign ministries from the NATO countries started convincing the people in their countries that the Russians were “rattling their weapons.”
<...>
Notice how clumsy this was in terms of media work. First, all the put-up quotes against our country were repeated by the journalist, and then they were again mentioned by Ned Price. A presentation designed for a not too sophisticated public. No one even paid attention to what the Foreign Minister said about the risks and Russia’s attempts to prevent the unthinkable.
It’s unthinkable to us, but, mindful of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it is, unfortunately, possible for our colleagues from overseas.
The next day, the media started mass brainwashing. The British tabloids (the Daily Mail and others) and the high-quality analytical US press, French television and German tabloid magazines started talking with one voice that Moscow was threatening with a Third World Nuclear War. And this was already being discussed in Europe; French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said that the Russian Foreign Minister’s words were the “rhetoric of intimidation.”
I would like to ask this Frenchman whether he at least saw what Sergey Lavrov said? We have translated the interview.
Our country is against any nuclear war, and this is exactly what the Russian Minister said, and this is what guides our diplomacy in its work.
Could it be that the Western capitals read the interviews as presented by the Western media? This is the only thing that can justify their words. To avoid that, one should simply DON'T turn off alternative sources of information, and listen to what Russia has to say close to the original text, rather than as interpreted by your media under NATO guidelines.

🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on Ukraine’s case in the International Criminal Court
💬 An announcement made on April 25 to the effect that the International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor’s Office will join the Joint Investigation Group comprised of Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine and created under the auspices of Eurojust has come to our attention.
Everyone is aware of how such entities operate. It is safe to assume that the work of their brainchild will be similarly biased and one-sided.
☝️ If anyone doubts that the ICC is a body that is fulfilling political orders and has nothing to do with independent justice, this new “creative” format has made it perfectly clear.
We would like to ask the ICC Prosecutor’s Office and the countries that are now so concerned about justice in Ukraine why, for eight years, they ignored the suffering of Donbass residents?

🟥 On the night of April 30 to May 1, 1945, the Victory Banner, a symbol of the Soviet Union’s triumph in the fight against Nazi Germany, was raised over a defeated Berlin.
Red Army soldiers Mikhail Yegorov, Meliton Kantaria, and Alexei Berest hoisted the scarlet flag – the assault flag of the 150th Infantry Division of the 3rd Shock Army of the 1st Belarusian Front – on the Reichstag’s roof.
Today the Banner of Victory is kept at the Central Museum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The blood-red canvas remains the main symbol of the Great Patriotic War, and a source of pride for all those nations of the USSR that contributed to our common Victory.

On May 2️⃣, 1945, the First Belorussian Front, under the command of Marshal Georgy Zhukov together with the First Ukrainian Front under the command of Marshal Ivan Konev, seized the Nazi German capital of Berlin. Most of Berlin’s garrison troops understood that any resistance was futile and laid down their arms and surrendered. Artillery General Weidling, along with three German generals, crossed the front line at 6 am on May 2 and also surrendered. Shortly thereafter, the General signed an order for the surrender of Berlin. By evening, the forces of the 8th Guards Army troops had cleared the central part of the city.
❗️With the Berlin operation concluded, the Nazi Germany's days were literally numbered. The Victory was ever so close.

◼️ May 2 marks eight years since the tragedy in Odessa. On this day in 2014, Ukraine’s Nazi thugs massacred those who had stood up against the Maidan coup d'etat, Kiev’s new policies, and unhinged nationalistic aggression. People were corralled into Odessa's House of Trade Unions and burned alive. Others were finished off as they tried to escape.
🕯 Forty-eight people were burned alive, died from carbon monoxide poisoning, or fell to their death from the upper floors of the House of Trade Unions, which was set on fire by the nationalists.
🔹 This barbaric act of egregious cynicism and brutality sent shockwaves around the world. Yet the “civilised” West kept silent in an uncivilised manner. Perpetrators roam freely. Moreover, Ukraine’s law enforcement persecuted those who managed to survive (!) what the fascist thugs had done.
❗️ We will never forget this heinous crime and will work to identify and bring to justice those responsible.
